Text Chapter 105 Gathering
After hearing this, Ye Ye pondered for a moment, then raised his head again and said to everyone: "Since His Excellency the Sword Sect is unable to attend, let's discuss the countermeasures ourselves." My attitude has been explained to you just now, and if you have any good suggestions, you can put them forward now!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall had different thoughts. Some of the leaders of the big families and the big chambers of commerce in Lingcheng looked embarrassed, obviously disagreeing with Ye Ye's plan to fight the Murong family head-on. They are weak, and they are not affiliated forces of the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce, so they can easily become cannon fodder once they go to war.
What's more, the Murong family is famous in the southwest of the Canglang Dynasty, even if they surrender to the Murong family, these people may not agree. So after they listened to Ye Ye's plan, they were a hundred reluctant in their hearts. It's just that because of the prestige of the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce in Lingcheng, they didn't dare to express their thoughts directly, so they looked at each other and didn't know how to answer.
Only the leaders of the three major sects of Danxiang Pavilion, Tianhuo Sect and Qingxia Sect supported Ye Ye's attitude, but to Ye Ye's surprise, He Chen, the head of the Qingxia Sect, was particularly resolute in his attitude towards resisting the Murong family, even more fierce than the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce.
"What Chairman Ye said just now is very right! Their Murong family was just an ordinary family in Jincheng more than ten years ago, and it was only because of good luck that they were able to unify Jincheng in such a short period of time. But the backbone of our Lingcheng is by no means comparable to those forces in Jincheng, no matter how many masters he has in the Murong family, our Lingcheng will not surrender to the death, and we will fight them to the end!"
He Chen took the initiative to stand up and speak to everyone in the hall, his tone was extremely resolute. Although Chen Yidan and Zhang Xiaoyu did not speak, they were also very supportive of He Chen's opinion, and their eyes glanced at Ye Ye who was sitting in the center of the hall, intentionally or unintentionally.
Ye Ye was even more puzzled in his heart, and it wasn't until he continued to listen to He Chen's speech that he gradually understood what the leaders of these three major sects meant.
"As the number one powerhouse in our Mausoleum City, President Ye is able to insist on not surrendering to the Murong family, and I He Chen deeply admire it. Therefore, I propose to elect President Ye as the leader of our rebel camp and lead the major forces of our Lingcheng to fight against the Murong family. I believe that under the leadership of President Ye, not only will the interests of the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce be protected, but the independence of the major forces in our Lingcheng will not be threatened either. In addition, President Ye had resisted Lingyun Tower's suppression with all his might, and he knew best in his heart that we, the small forces, would not bow to the powerful, so I think President Ye is very worthy of our trust!
After He Chen finished speaking, his eyes fell directly on Chen Yidan and Zhang Xiaoyu who were not far away.
"That's right, President Ye is an example to our Lingcheng, and what he did is worth learning from all of us!"
"President Ye has experienced the difficulties when he was suppressed by Lingyun Tower, and I believe that he can still sympathize with our feelings and will not do anything that violates his principles!"
Chen Yidan and Zhang Xiaoyu glanced at each other, and also stood up in solidarity with He Chen, expressing that they would never sit idly by and watch their respective sects being swallowed up by other forces. Whether the enemy is the Murong family or the powerful forces within the Lingcheng, they will continue to resist to the end and defend their respective divisions to the death.
Although Chen Yidan was very optimistic about Ye Ye at the beginning, he persuaded Ye Ye several times to worship himself as a teacher and join their Danxiang Pavilion. But after Zhou Tai came to the mausoleum, Chen Yidan chose to keep his distance from the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce for the sake of the life and death of Danxiang Pavilion. Now that the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce has risen, he has begun to worry that Ye Ye will take the opportunity to unify the entire Mausoleum City, so he no longer trusts Ye Ye as much as before, but is wary of him everywhere.
After the three of them finished speaking, not only Ye Ye, but also the other family heads or presidents in the hall also understood what their subtext was. Although they didn't name them just now, the enemies in their mouths obviously included not only the Murong family, but also the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce, which had recently risen strongly and had the potential to unify the Mausoleum City.
Ye Ye didn't understand why He Chen would support his plan to rebel against the Murong family so much just now, but now he finally understood what they wanted to say. Feeling all the eyes in the hall focused on him, Ye Ye smiled lightly and stood up again.
"The three of you really think too highly of me Ye Ye! The reason why I dare to confront the Murong family head-on is because I believe that I have this ability. If I don't have much confidence in myself and don't see any hope of winning, I still believe that someone who knows the times is a good man. After all, it is better to surrender to the Murong family than to drag the entire Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce to accompany the funeral!"
Ye Ye's tone was flat and deep, as if he was talking about himself, but everyone knew very well the warning meaning in his words.
The various forces in Lingcheng that had originally gathered together for the Murong family had a tendency to break out into infighting at this time, which caught everyone by surprise.
Although Ye Ye didn't want to see this situation, he didn't want to be looked down upon on his home turf. Even if Ye Ye never had the intention of unifying Lingcheng, if he took a step back today and promised the various forces in Lingcheng that he would never be unified, not only would he fall into the hands of the three major sects, but also greatly reduce their awe of the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce.
Even if these forces will not act rashly for the time being, but after a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not gain an inch, and gradually test the bottom line of the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce, and openly become enemies with the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce in Lingcheng.
What's more, Ye Ye summoned them today, originally for the sake of the entire Lingcheng, but the three major sects dared to provoke infighting at this critical moment, which made Ye Ye extremely angry in his heart. Therefore, he would not easily let the three major sects get what they wanted, and even began to faintly warn them, hoping that the three of them would be able to do their own thing.
But Ye Ye's concession did not win the understanding of the three major sects, and He Chen was even more dissatisfied after hearing his words, and walked directly to Ye Ye and said respectfully: "No matter what President Ye really thinks, at this time the great enemy, shouldn't Chairman Ye help everyone make up their minds, so that we can deal with the Murong family wholeheartedly? Could it be that President Ye wants us to fight with the Murong family at the same time, but also worry about the backyard fire at any time?"
He Chen's purpose is very simple, that is, to force Ye Yezhong to promise never to be unified. But where would Ye Ye let him succeed, when He Chen just finished speaking, he immediately retorted: "The strength of the heart comes from oneself, if a person still needs to rely on others even to make up his mind, then I don't expect him to be able to help him when he rebels against the Murong family!"
Ye Ye's answer disappointed the leaders of the three major sects again, Chen Yidan and Zhang Xiaoyu both had complicated faces, and they were already thinking about how they should deal with it after tearing their faces with the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce.
He Chen's expression was equally ugly, but he was more persistent and confident than Chen Yidan and Zhang Xiaoyu.
Seeing that Ye Ye still didn't give the result he wanted, He Chen suddenly felt ruthless in his heart, and his eyes when he looked at Ye Ye also became cold: "The so-called Dao is not the same, since President Ye's concept is far from our Qingxia Sect, there is no need for us to join forces against the enemy." The Qingxia faction decided to deal with the threat of the Murong family alone, I believe that with the Qingteng Order, the treasure of the Qingxia faction, in hand, as long as it is not for Murong Tufeng to come in person, it is useless for the Murong family to come. ”
As he spoke, he also took out a cyan diamond-shaped token and held it up, it was the Qingteng Order, the treasure of their Qingxia Sect.
Except for Ye Ye in the hall, everyone's faces changed when they saw Qingteng Ling, and their eyes were full of jealousy. Chen Yidan and Zhang Xiaoyu looked surprised after being shocked, they didn't expect He Chen to hide such a powerful hole card. After the two glanced at each other, they arched their hands at Ye Ye at the same time, indicating that they also refused to join forces with the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce to meet the enemy like the Qingxia Sect.
"President Ye, originally I thought we would have a lot of common language, but now it seems that there are more differences. Since President Ye insisted on going his own way, we will no longer accompany Danxiang Pavilion. ”
"It's the same with our Tianhuo Sect, we would rather join forces with the Qingxia Sect to deal with the threat of the Murong family. If President Ye changes his mind, we are ready to cooperate with the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce again to deal with the common enemy together!"
After Chen Yidan and Zhang Xiaoyu finished speaking, they walked behind He Chen, obviously He Chen's staunch supporters. Seeing this, He Chen couldn't help but show a hint of smugness on his face, and looked at Ye Ye with a hint of provocation in his eyes.
Because the Qingteng Order is a five-element magic weapon handed down from ancient times, although it is only known for defense, but its power is greater than most of the defensive equipment in the realm of Wuzong, even if Murong Tufeng personally makes a move, he may not be able to defeat He Chen who holds the Qingteng Order in a short time.
The only flaw is that the Qingteng Ling is a magic weapon of the five elements in ancient times, so it is very easy to be restrained by the principle of mutual growth and restraint of the five elements. That is to say, as long as the wood-attribute Qingteng Ling encounters a metallic magic weapon that is also one of the five elements magic weapons in ancient times, even if the level of the metallic magic weapon is not as high as the Qingteng Ling, the Qingteng Order will be suppressed by the metallic magic weapon.
It's just that due to the age, the ancient Five Elements magic weapons that have been passed down to the world are already scarce, and there are even fewer metallic magic weapons that can restrain the Qingteng Order, so He Chen is not worried that his Qingteng Order will not be able to exert its due power. Therefore, when facing Ye Ye, even if he still retained a trace of respect, he was not as afraid of Ye Ye's attack as the leaders of other forces.
The reason why he took out the Qingteng Order in front of everyone was to show that their Qingxia Sect was not afraid of the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce. He Chen's threat to Ye Ye to face the threat of the Murong family alone, and using the Qingteng Order to defend against the attack of the Murong family was just an excuse, his real purpose was still to hope that Ye Ye would give up the idea of unifying the mausoleum and make a promise to them that they would never be unified.
It's just that what He Chen didn't expect was that when Ye Ye looked at the Qingteng Order in his hand, there was no fear in his eyes, but a hint of ridicule.
